Friends...it's a small world, huh!

A fun new friend in my worldand a mutual friend as well...I can't remember how I stumbled upon Gayle,but I'm sure glad I did, a soul sister indeed.She made these awesome earrings for meand my friend Cathie.Gayle has the fun blog A Vintage Green Lifeand makes the most wonderful jewelry,has a terrorist corgi and shares our love ofsaving the planet...well, being green!Thanks Gayle...I LOVE THEM!!!

As I said, mutual friends, I find out mybestest bud Cathie,"This Girls Art" , is also a friend of Gayle'.Cathie stopped by my shack yesterday bringinggifts from afar...Cathie lives in Lone Treeand has been a soul sister for as long as I can remember,she collects dolls as well, but is purging her homeand brings me treasures shared from her collections,two new(creepy) dolls for my collection...SWEET!!!

Don't you just love the decrepit state thesewee ones are in...the damage on the first doll wasperpetrated by her cockatoo 'Greta',who will destroy anything not encased in iron...what a hoot(or squawk)!But how we three got together is just fun,Cathie says if Gayle lived closer(Washington)we'd be dangerous...we have similar tastesin strange, love of Nature and saving the planet,but especially love those spare moments we havefinding new friendships from afar,makes our world just a little brighter...You goils are DA BOMB!!!

Gayle is such a wonderful person! The earrings are gorgeous... And the dolls so much history... if only they could talk...Did you get more rain? If you need some, I won't mind sharing some of mine (do you take the slugs as well?)! ;)

The Wild Thing

About Me

The Sweet Repose of a 66 year old on a quest for the simple life. My home is my studio of life, my pink shack and six acres of paradise to me and my dog Scratchy. I'm a former taxidermist, a watercolorist, a dog groomer, a gardener, an antique dealer,a single free spirit and an entrepreneur of addictions that feed my soul and my art...my heart writes what it sees and my blog shares it with you...and yes, I'm a dreamer...!

free spirit

At this stage of the game, you just can't take anything too serious, it's about life and art and the drive to make it all happen, the humility to keep it in perspective...And a great punch line...S.Wilson
